Theatre Hire

Hire The Theatre

Why not hire the Forum Theatre for your next public performance? We have a wide range of set ups that can meet all sorts of needs. For a theatre performance, we have a 370 capacity which would be perfect for any proscenium arch stage shows for plays, dramas and musicals. Our versatile seating system means we can bring raked seating closer to the stage for a more intimate performance reducing capacity accordingly, whether that is for 50 seats or 200 seats.

Alternatively different stage levels can be used for more space to extend the performance area to the floor. For something different, why not undertake an in the round performance, all possible at The Forum Theatre.

As well as theatre performances, our facilities also welcome tribute bands and concert orchestras who are looking for a space to present their music. Our high quality sound systems can welcome additional PA equipment for the perfect night of live music.

Or a cabaret evening may be more suitable for your event, with table seating for up to 200 people available

You can also utilise our huge screen should you require film screening or projection as part of your event.

A public performance hire includes basic tech hire, a technician, backstage dressing rooms, licensed bar and front of house staff with The Forum Theatre also taking care of all your ticketing requirements.
